Point Spread: -4.00 | -105.00 LA Clippers (Home)
Result: Push
This is a 10* BLOCKBUSTER on the LA Clippers.
The Clippers have not covered the spread once yet this season, but I think will finally pull away down the stretch in this one for the comfortable ATS cover. And certainly LA will be ultra motivated here after a humbling 121-104 setback to the Warriors last time out: "For me, I need to do a better job," head coach Doc Rivers said afterwards. "I told the guys that. This is not their fault." But the home side needs no more motivation than simply looking at its upcoming competition (Portland, San Antonio, Phoenix and Chicago); suffice it to say, I think it's all hands on deck this afternoon. Portland is coming off back to back satisfying wins, a 101-82 victory over Cleveland and then a 108-87 victory over Dallas on Thursday. Both teams are loaded with offensive talent and I don't need to get into individual player matchups, this is a great situational play in my opinion; Portland is already 0-1 SU on the road this year and will get caught "looking ahead" to its game at home vs. Denver tomorrow night. And note, despite the ATS struggles this season, this is in fact a spot that LA has dominated in over the last two years for bettors, a superb 37-24 ATS after allowing 105 points or more. I think LA takes this one personally and pushes the tempo from the outset; all signs point to the CLIPPERS as the sharp move in this one.
